Republican Don Bacon and Democrat Brad Ashford will debate Tuesday. It will be their first showdown for Congressional District Two.

The chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee flew into Omaha over the weekend as Ashford and Bacon make their way to the finish line.

NRCC chairman Rep. Greg Walden answered questions about Bacon's chances and the presidential race's impact at the local level.

"Polls tell me that we have a path to victory here or I wouldn't be here and we wouldn't have $2 million on TV and radio here," Walden said.

Ashford released his own poll from the Global Strategy Group touting a 10-point lead over Bacon. But Walden said it's a toss up.

National Political Analysts also said the race is too close to call.

"He's going to have Trump supporters. He's going to have Republicans. He's going to have independence and he's going to have some Democrats that want assurity in national security to be a bigger issue," Walden said.

Following the released recording of the decade old lewd conversation Donald Trump had with Billy Bush, Bacon joined other elected officials calling for Trump to leave the race.

"Don Bacon is going to run his own race and I think that shows in the polls," Walden said. "We see it around the country. We've looked at lots of surveys all the time. There isn't that type of an attachment. If you ask voters, 'Is Ashford like Hillary Clinton?' Sixty to 65 percent will say, 'Yeah.' If you ask if a Republican is like Donald Trump, it's about 20 to 25 percent."

A big factor in the race will be the Clinton/Bacon crossover voter. Staffers said those people exist and will make a big contribution on Election Day.

Bacon's campaign also said it surpassed fundraising goals, raining $525,000 last quarter.
